Veratrum and Wildflowers (2010)

A summertime display of beautiful Veratrum and wildflowers in the Mt Jefferson Wilderness. I found this beautiful display of Veratrum and wildflowers during an early summer backpacking trip in the Mt Jefferson Wilderness of Oregon. Veratrum, also known as false hellebore or corn lily, is a plant commonly found in damp areas of the back-country. I was really excited to find this scene, since Veratrum and other wildflowers rarely grow in the same location.
